'The Hidden Worlds of Broomhall Revealed' Exhibition

Over 5000 images were scanned or taken during the OUR Broomhall project. We have chosen 18 of these to showcase in our special exhibition of images called ‘The Hidden Worlds of Broomhall Revealed’. These images are just a few that we felt represent some of the hidden histories of the area, that were unknown to us before the project started….things we have learnt about Broomhall that we didn’t know before. We also created some website taster banner stands to showcase some of the images from the project.

The set of 18 enlarged image prints and the associated banner stands are available for loan. If you have a suitable venue and you would like to host all or part of the exhibition a short period of time (ideally between 4 and 8 weeks), we would love to hear from you!
